Vocabulary Charades Game

Hugo, Mele and Finn are playing vocabulary charades at a kite festival. Take turns acting and guessing. Actors do not speak or point to letters. Use safe movements, and let everyone have a turn.

Read the clues

At the kite festival, Hugo acts out a word without speaking. He stretches his arms wide, pretends to hold a string, then leans as if the wind is pulling. Mele guesses, “Is it flying a kite?” Hugo nods. Next, Finn acts out “enormous” by standing tall and spreading his arms as far as he can. Mele listens, watches carefully and makes a guess. The friends take turns, use kind voices and give each actor time to show the clue.
